About Kimberly Johnston

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida, with 12+ years of professional experience helping individuals improve mental health and well-being. I have experience working with those struggling with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, neglect, depression, grief and loss and coping with life changes. My counseling philosophy is to meet you wherever you are in life’s journey and working alongside you to build on the strengths that will assist you in learning to cope and overcome challenges, past or present. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental and accepting atmosphere where I am committed to supporting you and your values to reach your potential and move forward. My therapeutic approach is a combination of person-centered, cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy styles.
Taking the initiative to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am so proud of you for taking that first step! Empowering those who seek a more fulfilling life is a passion of mine. Let’s connect and work together on where your healing and growth may begin.

“Great listener”

“I’m so thankful for Kimberly. After decades of air travel all over the world, a sense of claustrophobia and anxiety started to overtake me on airplanes. I was on the verge of, sadly, giving up air travel, but Kimberly advised me to stop suppressing and helped me talk it through. She reminded me of the power of planning and preparation. It’s working. My last flight was anxiety free.”

“Kim is an awesome therapist and I always enjoy my sessions with her and she has helped me a lot mentally and emotionally. Im glad she is my therapist and still continues to do so. Im forever grateful for her help in my life.”

“Kimberly was amazing listen to all of my concerns and gave me such great perspective in life that I’m looking Forward to applying it all!”

“Kimberly meets you where you are at in life. There is no pressure from her to dive into things too soon, she has the utmost respect for your feelings and takes the time to send very thoughtful and personal recap messages to you outside of your time together which shows she’s truly listening. She has a very warm, light, and inviting energy about her and has made therapy a must for me. I look forward to every week’s meeting with her and she makes me excited to work through my personal struggles. She is kind, has a good head on her shoulders, smart and empathetic. Could not praise her enough.”

“I leave every session with Kimberly with renewed enthusiasm . I think she understands my goals better than I do. Very helpful thoughts and suggestions. Plus she’s fun to talk to.”

“Kim is really great, I could not be happier! She is really personable and really listen to her patient. She offer different ways of working through a situation and you never feel like you are being judged.<br /> Highly recommend her !”

“She is incredibly wonderful, she helped me see myself again while still allowing me to find my own answers. Forever grateful for our connection. Great listener, extremely compassionate, and yet will help you see where you might be “missing the mark” if you will. Amazing experience with Kim!”
